Mobile Application Security Audit

Certified auditors test your iOS and Android apps the way attackers do, on the device, over the network, and against the APIs behind them, then give you a prioritized plan to fix what we find.

What a Mobile Application Security Audit Covers

Your app runs on devices you do not control, talks to servers over networks you do not own, and holds data your customers trust you with. We test all three.

Emulating the approach used by attackers, our Certified Information Systems Auditors combine automated analysis with manual penetration testing of your iOS and Android apps and the APIs behind them. Testing follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the OWASP Mobile Top 10, and every finding comes with specific instructions to fix it. A typical engagement covers:

Need the API tested in depth on its own? See our API security audit. For a web version of your product, see our web application security audit.

Three Places Your App Can Expose Data. We Test Each One.

Most mobile breaches do not start with the app’s screens. They start with what the app leaves on the phone, what it sends over the network, and what the server behind it trusts.

01

On the Device

The installed app, on a phone you do not control
  • Data and tokens stored in plain text
  • Hard-coded keys and secrets
  • Reverse engineering and tampering
  • Jailbreak and root detection
02

In Transit

Every request between the app and your servers
  • Weak or missing TLS
  • Certificate validation and pinning
  • Interception and replay of traffic
  • Data sent to third-party SDKs
03

Behind the App

The APIs and servers the app depends on
  • One user reading another user’s data
  • Missing authorization on endpoints
  • Injection and data exposure
  • Business logic the app assumes is enforced

The third layer is often the most serious: an attacker can skip the app entirely and call your API directly.

Our Audit Process

Three phases that cover the app, the network between, and the servers behind it.

01

Scope & Preparation

We agree which apps, versions, and platforms are in scope, the backend APIs they call, and the test accounts and builds we need. You receive a detailed proposal covering scope, pricing options, team CVs, and sample reports.

02

Test the App, Traffic & APIs

We analyze the app package, test it on real iOS and Android devices, intercept and manipulate its traffic, and test the backend APIs it relies on, combining automated analysis with manual penetration testing. Testing is coordinated with your team and avoids production disruption.

03

Report & Remediate

You receive prioritized, risk-rated findings with steps to fix each one, mapped to OWASP MASVS. We walk your developers through the results and provide three months of free post-audit support. Retesting of fixed findings is available.

Who Needs a Mobile App Security Audit

This audit is for organizations whose apps hold customer data, move money, or connect to systems that matter.

Banking, Fintech & Payments Apps that move money or store cardholder data under PCI DSS.
Healthcare & Telehealth Apps that handle protected health information under the HIPAA Security Rule.
Retail & Loyalty Apps Accounts, stored payment methods, and reward balances that attackers target directly.
SaaS Companies With Mobile Clients Enterprise customers who ask for independent testing of every client, not just the web app.
Before a Major Release Teams launching a new app or a major version who want issues found before users and attackers find them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We test each platform separately, because storage, permissions, and inter-app communication work differently on iOS and Android, and a flaw on one often does not exist on the other.

Yes. A mobile audit includes the APIs your app calls, because an attacker can skip the app and call your API directly. For in-depth testing of an API on its own, see our API security audit.

Usually the app builds or store links for each platform, test accounts for each user role, and a description of the backend APIs in scope. Source code is helpful but not required.

The OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the OWASP Mobile Top 10, with findings also mapped to PCI DSS, HIPAA, or other requirements that apply to your app.
